My Grandma Dot
Was very special to me.
She was my nurturer, and my security
When my Mother died I was only
7 years old and
Grandma Dot
Took me and my Brother into her home and heart
She was a gentle soul and loved us dearly.
She taught me so much
How to Love, How to Trust, How to Care.
She died over 46 Years Ago.
And I miss her.
I only have a few of her earthly possessions,
And one of them is this
Beautiful Tea Cup and Saucer
She had very few possessions
But she had more love and compassion than anyone I know.
Her little tea cup and saucer sits in my curio. . .
Protected from any harm. .
Just like my Grandma was with me
Protecting me from any harm.
Grandma had such a delicate touch.
She taught me some of the finer things of life.
She taught me how to crochet and how to embroidery. . .
I thought at the time I could never do the beautiful crochet work
That my Grandma did. . .
But,
I think she would be proud of me now.
I know where my Grandma is
And I know that someday I will be with her.
I will feel her delicate touch on my cheek,
I will hear her soft voice
And I we will be together once again.
I will be linking this with

It is wonderful that you had a grandmother like you did. She sounds a lot like my grandmother who taught me to crochet and embroider also. What a tribute to a special person.

A beautiful cup, full of special memories for you. My Nanna too had very few posessions because she gave eveything to other people. Our lives are truly blessed by these special people.
